Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

75 No, This Was Also My Decision

When Madam Zhou heard Su Ying’s voice, she shrank back in fear.

Madam Sun pinched Madam Zhou hard. “I told you to look for water, but you’re hiding somewhere else loafing away. I’ll beat you to death.”

Su Ying grabbed Madam Sun’s hand with an icy expression. “I told the two of you to go, not just her alone. Tell me, where did you all go to look for water today?” She turned to look at Madam Zhou.

Madam Zhou shrunk her neck and shoulders in fear. She dared not raise her head to look at Su Ying at all. “We… we went to the back… back…”

“Where at the back?” Su Ying’s voice suddenly became stern.

“It’s right behind the open space. What do you want us to do if we can’t find water?” Madam Sun stuck her neck forward and raised her voice as if she was trying to bolster her courage by raising her voice.

Su Ying straightened her body slowly, and her eyes were filled with a deep layer of chilliness. “Before you locate the water source, you two will have nothing to eat”.

Madam Sun was furious when she heard that. They were having braised pork tonight. She hadn’t had a good bite of meat in a long time. Su Ying didn’t allow them to eat when she herself was having meat. She was clearly doing this on purpose!

“What basis do you have to forbid us from eating?”

Su Ying glared at her icily. “On the basis that all the food belongs to me.”

“You! You! I don’t care. I’m going to eat it. I don’t believe you can do anything to me!” Madam Sun reached out to grab the meat in the pot.

To her surprise, before her hand could grab the meat, a wooden stick hit the back of her hand ruthlessly, causing her to cry out in pain.

“You! You dare to hit me? Who do you think you are?” Madam Sun was so angry that she became emboldened. She gritted her teeth and tried to scratch Su Ying’s face.

Su Ying toyed with the rod for controlling the campfire in her hand and hit the back of Madam Sun’s hand whenever she got close.

Madam Sun cried out loudly in pain. “Help! Murder…”

However, no matter how much she shouted, the people nearby simply looked on idly, feeling an immense sense of gratification.

Madam Sun retracted her hands in pain, turned around, and ran to the place where Wang Lang was. “Lang ‘er, save your mother! Your mother is going to get beaten to death!” She ran behind Wang Lang, her whole body curled up and trembling.

When Wang Lang saw his own mother being beaten, he also felt very uncomfortable, but he also knew that Madam Sun was wrong.

His external wounds had already healed, but his internal organs had not yet recovered. As such, he could not do any heavy work and could only watch from the side. He slowly knelt down in front of Su Ying when he saw her walking over.

“I beg Mistress to spare Mother and the others this time.” Wang Lang choked on his voice as he spoke because he also felt ashamed. After all, everyone was working hard, but his mother and wife wanted to play tricks and slack off. However, Madam Sun was his mother, and he couldn’t just watch idly as she got beaten.

He kept kowtowing to Su Ying, begging her not to hit Madam Sun.

Su Ying stopped in front of Wang Lang and looked icily down at him. “Wang Lang, do you know why I saved you? It was because you were very important to Xiao Jin, so I tolerated your family.”

Xiao Jin’s brows furrowed slightly, and his heart felt suffocated. He couldn’t describe this feeling.

“However, I, Su Ying, don’t need self-entitled trash by my side. If they want to leave now, I won’t stop them, but if they want to stay, they have to listen to me. This is the last chance I’m giving them. Look for a water source, and before they find one, they won’t have anything to eat. Wang Lang, if you want to hate, then hate me. All of this has nothing to do with Xiao Jin.”

“No, this was my decision as well.” Xiao Jin suddenly spoke up. There were some things that he didn’t want Su Ying to bear for him on her own. “Wang Lang, if your mother and the others just want to fool around and enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor, then you can leave with them.”

Xiao Jin knew that Su Ying tolerated Madam Sun because Wang Lang was someone he trusted and valued, but he couldn’t let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel.

Wang Lang’s face was full of guilt. “Yes, Master. We will definitely not eat anything before we locate a water source.”

Madam Sun was displeased when she heard this. She wanted to speak, but Wang Lang rebuked her, “Mother, you should stop talking. If you are not willing to cooperate, I’ll take all of you away now!”

When Madam Sun heard that she had to leave this place, she caved in. It was not easy to come to such a place where she could live so how could she be willing to leave?

She glared at Su Ying viciously. She was going to teach this bitch a lesson sooner or later.

Since Madam Sun and the others didn’t find a water source, Su Ying carried the bucket and tried to think of a way to get water out of the interspatial store.

So, she picked up the bucket and walked into the gradually darkening night.

Xiao Jin looked at her departing back profile and asked, “Su Ying, where are you going?”

“I’m going to borrow water,” Su Ying replied without turning her head.

By the time she returned, she was carrying two buckets of water. When Aunt Zhao asked her where she get the water from, Su Ying only said she had paid the family at the back for the water and brushed it off.

Dinner was mixed-grain buns and braised pork. Everyone was hungry after a busy day, so even though Hea Shouyi had cooked several big pots, all the pots were emptied.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone was so tired that they didn’t even want to lift their fingers and fell asleep straightaway on the ground.

Su Ying took advantage of the night to get some more water from her interspatial store to wipe her body. She was exhausted from a busy day and couldn’t take a relaxing bath. She felt really uncomfortable.

Although she had borrowed a lot of infinite power from the wristband today, she had also used a lot of her own strength. It was not easy to lift those large wooden piles, and her limbs were a little sore now.

“Your body is aching?” Xiao Jin saw that Su Ying kept massaging her arms and legs, and a hint of heartache flashed swiftly across his dark eyes.

Su Ying flopped down on the carriage like a dead fish. “Mm-hmm. I’m quite tired.”

Su Ying had just finished speaking when she felt a warm palm gently massaging her sore calf.

She groaned in pleasure and slowly closed her eyes.

The sound of a grinding knife rang out again in the wooden building not far away.

Mei Niang, dressed in all red, leaned against the railing and looked in the direction of the open space. A burly figure appeared behind her.

“You saw it for yourself today. That little lady is no ordinary person.”

Mei Niang gently flapped the bone fan in her hand, her eyes shining with a dark light. “I don’t like these mundane people now. I can’t wait anymore. Tomorrow then. She’s different. We’ll use a different method.

“Alright.”

Cock-a-doodle-do…

Before dawn, roosters were already crowing in the base camp.

Su Ying opened her eyes and found that the soreness in her muscles had eased significantly. She didn’t know if it was because Xiao Jin had massaged her that night.

She got up and looked at the adorable manner of the children who were sleeping soundly. She couldn’t resist kissing them on the face. After that, she got off the carriage.

Uncle Hea and the others had already woken up to prepare breakfast. Everyone had to do heavy work all day, so if they didn’t eat their fill in the morning, they would not have sufficient strength.

The foundation was ready, but the wooden planks for building the house were not ready. Su Ying planned to go to the back of the mountain to take a look. Even if she couldn’t catch any prey, she could take some out from her interspatial store. She could claim that she caught it in the mountain while taking the chance to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

After breakfast, Su Ying set off for the back of the mountain.

Madam Sun and Madam Zhou went hungry the entire night and were extremely angry. When Madam Sun saw Su Ying leave, she stood up and walked toward the pot.
